Electrolyte effects in proton–electron transfer reactions and implications for renewable fuels and chemicals synthesis

The structure and properties of the electric double layer that forms at the electrode–electrolyte interface is crucial in determining the performance of electrocatalytic reactions. This Perspective puts forward and discusses three major schools of thought on electrolyte effects and electrocatalyst design.

Reversible metal cluster formation on Nitrogen-doped carbon controlling electrocatalyst particle size with subnanometer accuracy

Copper-nitrogen co-doped carbon catalysts reversibly transform into metal clusters, when employed for the electrocatalytic CO2 reduction. Here, by applying potential pulses, the authors show the size of the formed metal clusters can be finely tuned, allowing on-the-fly steering of the distribution of reaction products.

Key intermediates and Cu active sites for CO₂ electroreduction to ethylene and ethanol

Electrochemical reduction of CO₂ can yield many different products; a better understanding of the key mechanisms at play is needed to guide the design of selective catalysts. Here the authors use in situ surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy and simulations to elucidate reaction schemes for CO₂ reduction to ethylene and ethanol.

Operando Raman spectroscopy uncovers hydroxide and CO species enhance ethanol selectivity during pulsed CO₂ electroreduction

Controlling the selectivity of the electroreduction of CO₂ to value-added products is challenging. Here, authors use sub-second operando Raman spectroscopy to analyze Cu catalyst surfaces and discover the pivotal role of co-adsorbed OH and CO in enhancing ethanol selectivity.

Atomic-scale surface restructuring of copper electrodes under CO₂ electroreduction conditions

Copper is an important catalyst for CO₂ electroreduction as it enables the formation of multi-carbon products. Now, using various in situ techniques, the authors show that low-coordinated Cu surface species form spontaneously near the onset of CO₂ electrocatalytic reduction.

Size effects and active state formation of cobalt oxide nanoparticles during the oxygen evolution reaction

The near-surface structure of oxide electrocatalysts during the oxygen evolution reaction is key to performance but remains elusive. Here the authors use operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy to track the size-dependent catalytic activity of CoO_x(OH)_y nanoparticles down to 1 nm and their structural changes under reaction conditions.

Steering the structure and selectivity of CO₂ electroreduction catalysts by potential pulses

The relationship between product selectivity and catalyst structure under dynamic reaction conditions has proved difficult to interpret in electrocatalytic CO₂ reduction. Here, the authors combine operando X-ray techniques with high time resolution to investigate control over product selectivity using potential pulses.

Dynamic transformation of cubic copper catalysts during CO₂ electroreduction and its impact on catalytic selectivity

Understanding the changes that occur in catalysts during reaction are key to the rational design. Here, the authors use electrochemical transmission electron microscopy and time-resolved product analysis to unveil how cubic copper oxide catalysts evolve during electrochemical CO₂ reduction, linking their structural transformations with their selectivity.

Our future, we decide: five ways to reform the scientific publication process

Although science is becoming ever more complex, interdisciplinary and open, the scientific publication process has largely remained static, which affects the integrity and impact of articles. At the 2023 Danish Diabetes and Endocrine Academy Postdoc Summit, we identified five aspects of this process that need attention to enable reform.
